So I seem to have an aversion to canned beers. There has always been something in the flavor of the beer that bothered. people would tell me, not possible or there is a special liner. If that is true, by the time we get through the next couple of podcasts I’ll be seeing silver!

That’s right, 33, 34, and 35. With a couple of beer trades, good friends, and local beer we have a massive amount of canned beer for our next several podcasts! I have received beer from Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Montana, and many other places. So, are you ready for this monster list of beer???

It’s not very often in a beer blogger’s world that you come across a group of beers like this to sample. For this podcast I was lucky enough to get several of Allagash’s Coolship beers and Russian River Beatification. All of these beers have one thing in common, they all are products of nature, spontaneous fermentation. What does that mean? Well, most beers are fermented with cultured yeast strains, these beers where exposed to their environment and left to the divine power of what ever little bugs were around.

Shhh… I change the name. These podcasts are really no longer about several beers fighting it out to see which is best. That concept has just become way to subjective for me. Frankly, I love giving my opinion, but want folks to try the beers them selves and form their own opinions. So from here on out no more Beer Brawls, just Simply Beer Podcast and with the line up of beer we have for this podcast cast, it wouldn’t be fair to have these beers brawling. 6 totally unique, über rare, and individual beers.

As I’ve said before I love drinking beer with other beer geeks and when Kevin Malavrca from the Liquor Outlet in Boonton NJ threw down this challenge I was all for it! Beer Brawl™ 30 is going to change each of to bring our 2 favorite session beers to the table. If you don’t know what a session beer is, we are defining it, for this challenge, as a beer less then 5.5% abv, any style goes.

To date, this was the one I was looking forward to the most. All the previous podcast we’ve done, we have been sampling the beers either by bottles or cans, but for this Beer Brawl we have the luxury of Draft. If you are familiar with Andy’s Corner Bar or your local Beer Bar, Andy’s rotates through the taps quite frequently. With the rotation, we basically were going into this Beer Brawl blind, not really knowing what we would be drinking.
